Loode oak stand study trail (2.8 km)

The oak belonging to the oldest generation of the Loode oak stand, dedicated to the linguist Johannes Aavik, was measured to be 450-500 years old in October 2000. The oldest generation of the oak stand is presumably formed of trees that remained from the shipbuilding campaign initiated by Peter I.
